Watch the sunset wash over the Ionian Sea from the infinity pool at this gorgeous mountainside villa above the pretty town of Sivota. Sit on the terrace with a glass of wine and watch the boats sail by. As night falls, see the lights of the town twinkle, as a sky full of diamonds appears.

Inside, blues and grey hues remind us of the pebbly seashore. In the morning, you can wake up to those stunning sea views and step right out onto the terrace for a breakfast of Greek yoghurt with honey. Then let your hosts organise a massage – it’s so easy to totally unwind at this romantic retreat.

Located in Sivota Epirus on the west coast of mainland Greece – the fishing town of Sivota with its boutiques, tavernas, café and bars is a five-minute drive away. Or spend the day on Mikri Ammos, a pretty sheltered cove backed by cliffs, a two-minute ride from this idyll.
